WE WENT ON A GOOD OUTING. IT WAS A GOOD DAY.

By Remon G.

I went to Michaels to shop for art projects. I had fun with Whitney, and I saw some of my friends from Frick to change our truck and get some projects from CCRX. It was kinda big! And I had fun riding with Whitney in the van. Cruiser. I helped take the stuff out the truck with Dori, the art therapy intern. The ride was lovely, and I like riding in the van. I love the store; it was my first time in Michaels.

SPECIAL OLYMPICS GYMNASTICS

By Jamie P. I went to the Broadway Armory Park on Saturday.

We had fun. We came there early. I did a speech for everybody for the Special Olympics events, gymnastics:

"Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt."

After that, we started the floor exercise routine.

Everybody loves it from the different parks. They said, "Oh my gosh, cool, she's perfect! She's funny!" The judges look at me when I'm doing good. Then I got very excited they put points for me when I do my floor routine. After that, we finished and went upstairs to eat lunch at 10:30. We had Subway with chips, with drinks. After that, we go downstairs again and I do my vault routine. I did running and jumping and handstand. I was so happy to do it. I tried my best doing it. I was so excited. Then we sit in the bench waiting for the awards to start. They called my name. I got a gold medal for the floor exercise routine. I got second place for the vault. My friends made fun of me for getting second place.

My coach is telling me not to give up when I got second place. I love gymnastics. It's my favorite hobby!

I LOVE VOLUNTEERING

By Lucy P.

I went to the Vineyard Christian Church of Evanston.

I like sorting the clothes. I like meeting some of those ladies that worked there past Wednesday. I like what they do. They sort clothes, they put them on hangers, they fold them. I had a good time. I'm volunteering. I go to help out. I'm helping the community. I just like to help others, help out whatever their needs are. If they're stressed out, I know what to do to help them, any needs they have.

NO MORE DRAMA IN YOUR LIFE

By Jamie P.

I just want to make good friends, not to start drama. I need someone to love each other, respect their feelings.

I don't care what they say. You should follow your heart, stay away from each other for good.

Ideas how to deal with drama: Stand up for yourself Talk through it - with your close friends who are nice to you about your problems Walk away when somebody is saying something you don't like Talk to your staff Listen to music Just ignore the people who say something to you If drama keeps on starting with you, you have to move on Get off social media - it'll make you a better person.

You will be happy without drama.

Be nice.

PILLOW THOUGHTS

By Courtney Peppernell

I love to read a poem book - Courtney Peppernell.

It's good to look with my glasses. Make me smart and think. I feel inside my emotions is making me tears out of my eyes. This poem books very interesting to me. That's why I love this book.

JAMIE'S BOOK REVIEW THIS TOO SHALL PASS I read the book This Too Shall Pass. It talk about God and what's going on in the world. It talk about faith, growing. See the tall trees, like grains, see animals. I see desert. Prayers help me with what's happening in the world. It's a prayer book for tough times. You have a hard day, and it relieves your mind. You feel God with you. You feel Jesus right there with you, telling you to move on. Talking about fear, anger, depression. When you look at the picture, what's going on in your life.

CQL GROUP DISCUSSION

By Yolanda B. We had a discussion group about getting to know people in your community. I enjoyed myself. It was fun.

Getting to know your neighbors, people who stay on the block with you. Some people don't even know their neighbors, don't even know their name. You gotta introduce yourself to people on your block - interact with people! Getting to know them and stuff. You might be somewhere in a shopping mall, it might be your neighbor, and you might not even know them! They might ask you for a ride and you might say "no" because you don't know them. I got new neighbors across the street. They got they kids like Brady Bunch. There's a whole lot of them! If you get to know your neighbors when they coming and when they leaving, they'll stick around more if you interact with them. They'll come out more often. If you're outside, they'll come outside, talk to you.
